Land O Lakes Butter With Canola Oil

Land O Lakes Butter With Canola Oil

The farmers at Land O Lakes are cowardly morons for getting rid of their Indian mascot at the behest of the endlessly offended instead of telling them to kiss their Buttered asses, but you’ll have a hard time finding a better spread.

The Canola Oil is what’s promoted, but the main ingredient is sweet cream, which your taste buds will appreciate the most. The only other ingredient is salt. That makes this a wholesome topping for pancakes, biscuits and the like.

Quaker Instant Oatmeal [ Protein ] : Cranberry Almond

Quaker Instant Oatmeal [ Protein ] : Cranberry Almond

The aroma that arises when you pour “hot milk or boiling water” into a bowl of this oatmeal, from the Quaker Protein series, is quite delectable. It smells like fresh-baked soft and gooey Cranberry Almond oatmeal cookies, but the taste is a comparative letdown. It’s not as sweet as you expect or “delicious” as the box claims.

That’s a drawback of trying to balance tasty and healthy, but there’s a way to make eating this and other run-of-the-mill oatmeals an enjoyable experience. Add just enough bowling water to make it wet, stir, make a milk well, pour in cold milk and eat mainly the milk with a spoon while scooping in bits of warm oatmeal.

Planters Select Cashews Almonds And Pecans

Planters Select Cashews Almonds And Pecans

Planters describes this Select nut blend as “delicious” and they’re almost right. Skittles tastes better; I generally prefer sweet than savory; but they’re profoundly unhealthy. These are both wholesome and tasty; thanks partly to the additional of sea salt; a rarity in the snack world. My only complaint is that there aren’t enough Pecans.

Pumpkin Spice Cheerios

Pumpkin Spice Cheerios

If the thought of Pumpkin Spice turns you off as it does me, don’t fret. This Limited Edition (October/November) version of Cheerios has only a soupçon of the flavor. It tastes more like Apple Cinnamon Cheerios, albeit not quite as sweet and tasty.

Breyers Frozen Dairy Dessert : Vanilla [ No Sugar Added ]

Breyers Frozen Dairy Dessert : Vanilla [ No Sugar Added ]

Ice cream with no sugar? Well, it’s not ice cream; it’s Frozen Dairy Dessert; and the No Sugar bit comes with the caveat of the word Added. The ingredients include maltitol syrup; a natural sugar alcohol.

Breyers promotes the taste as “Simply delicious”, but that’s marketing hype. It’s good enough for what it is; basically healthy ice cream; but it lacks the sweetness and creamy texture of its sugary counterparts.

Burger King’s Rodeo Burger

Burger King's Rodeo Burger

I don’t know what this burger has to do with a Rodeo, aside from the onion rings being somewhat reminiscent of lassos, but I can imagine a cowboy chopping one down on horseback. The inclusion of barbeque sauce makes it a tasty alternative to a regular hamburger.
